We may actually get to see Junior dos Santos' Ground Game

Junior dos Santos really wants to fight Cain Velasquez but the UFC is keeping Cain on deck to fight the winner of Carwin-Lesnar so it looks like we are on to plan B, which is a fight with TUF 10 winner Roy Nelson.
With dos Santos recent string of TKO victories it makes sense that Nelson will forgo his own punching power in order to get this fight to the mat.
Dos Santos might train with the Nogueira brothers and he might have a brown belt in BJJ but we still have NO IDEA what his ground game is actually like. That makes the fight with Nelson, a black belt in his own right, a risk for a guy that many people believe to be a top heavyweight.

What about some rock ‘em sock ’em robots themed shirt with dos Santos popping someone’s head off with an uppercut?

Cigano wearing a top hat and smoking a massive cigar, with the word ‘Cigano’ at the bottom.
I know his nickname actually translates to ‘Gypsy’, but hell, nobody who doesn’t speak Portuguese won’t know that.
What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease.
